Pirate bay Moves Again

Pirate Bay has moved again. The popular torrent site has changed their domain, they are no longer on the .sx domain, now they are at .ac domain. This change is due to the domain name seizure that happened over night according to the Pirate Bay team.

So the site basically moved from one island to another. Because the previous domain was located Sint Maarten that is a Dutch protectorate. New domain is located on the Ascension Island in the South Atlantic Ocean, this island is controlled by the UK. British government however is not a fan of Pirate Bay, this site is blocked by all of their ISPs. So it looks like the famous torrent site might be moving again really soon.

Previously the sites owners were jocking how they were going to move their servers into space. Considering how much they have been moving the site lately space maybe the right option for Pirate bay.

Breaking Bad Breaks Another Record

Braking Bad has ended. One of the best TV series of all time had it's last episode on Sunday. So what record did it break. Well it's the most pirated TV episode ever. Just in the first 12 hours it was illegally downloaded 500.000 times. Now that's an impressive figure, half of million people in just 12 hours.

Most of the downloads came from Australia, fallowed by USA and United Kingdom. What's interesting that people mostly download TV series from torrents when they don't have a legal way of watching. Well in these three countries there was a legal way of watching Breaking Bad finale and yet they lead on the list of pirate downloads. Data was gathered by TorrentFreak and this includes various torrent sites.

The thing that's even more interesting is that TV-insiders are not that upset over all of this illegal download. Game of Thrones director David Petrarca said that buzz created by pirates leads to more subscribers. Hes not alone in saying stuff like that, Time Warner CEO Jess Bewkes said that it’s better than winning an Emmy. Breaking Bad producers have nothing to complain about because the series finale was the most watched episode of the series.

Breaking Bad won an Emmy this year for the first half of season five. The fans were outraged that Bryan Cranston didn't win an Emmy for the leading role. So it should be interesting at the awards next year.
